World Polio Day 2019 Interviews

On World Polio Day, October 24, 2019, I had the opportunity to visit Rotary International headquarters to visit with leaders there about the eradication of polio.

Polio, unknown for a generation in high-income countries, continues to infect children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Rotary leads the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, GPEI, which includes the U.S. CDC, UNICEF, World Health Organization and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
